CENTRAL BEDFORDSHIRE COUNCIL
PROPOSES TO INTRODUCE
NO WAITING AT ANY TIME ON HIGH STREET AND TOWNSEND CLOSE, CRANFIELD

Reason for proposal: The purpose of this proposal is to improve road safety for all users and to reduce the likelihood of danger arising on the highway, whilst facilitating the safe and efficient passage of traffic, including pedestrians.

The proposed waiting restrictions on High Street are intended to prevent obstructive parking in the vicinity of bus stops, ensuring that buses are able to access and depart from the stops without obstruction. This will improve traffic flow along the street, reduce delays to public transport, and enhance visibility and safety for pedestrians and other road users.

Please note that this consultation is retrospective, as the waiting restrictions were installed in error prior to the completion of the statutory Traffic Regulation Order process. The Council is now undertaking the necessary consultation and making the Order to ensure the restrictions are lawfully in place.

Effect of the Order:

To introduce No Waiting at any time on the following length of road in Cranfield:-

1.  Townsend Close, both sides, from the centre of the junction with High Street and extending in a northwesterly direction for approximately 10 metres.

2.  High Street, north side, from the junction with Townsend Close and extending in a north-easterly direction for approximately 20 metres.

3.  High Street, north side, from the junction with Townsend Close and extending in a south-westerly direction for approximately 10 metres.

4.  High Street, south side, from a point approximately 14 metres southwest of the centre of the junction with Townsend Close and extending in a north-easterly direction for approximately 55 metres.

Details may also be viewed online at www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk/publicstatutorynotices.

Comments and objections should be e-mailed to highways. consultation@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk by 14 May 2026.

All objections must state the grounds on which they are made. All comments must quote reference number TRO-104.

If responding in writing, please send comments to the address below, FAO Emily Hirst.

Please note that any comments received will be redacted of personal information and uploaded to the Central Bedfordshire Council website as part of the public report a few days before the scheme is considered at the relevant Traffic Management Meeting. These will remain in the public domain. If you do not wish your comments to be included in the report, please state this explicitly in your response.
